Information: Article II, Section 1 (Powers, Number, and Term of Office) of the

Council of the City of Southlake. The Bylaws specify that the City
Council shall appoint eight (8) members to the TIRZ Board of
Directors, with one of those positions being named by the Carroll
Independent School District. The other taxing units participating in
the zone (CISD, Tarrant County, Tarrant County Hospital District,
and Tarrant County College) also may appoint one (1)
representative to the Board of Directors.
The Bylaws further state that if a taxing unit (other than the City)
waives its right to appoint a member to the Board, as evidenced by
written resolution duly adopted by the governing body of such
taxing unit, the City Council may appoint a Board member in its
stead.
With respect to the length and terms of succession, the Bylaws
state the following:
"Each member shall serve for a term of two years, as
stipulated in the Act, or until the member's successor is duly
appointed and qualified."

for the Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone Number One. The
